The dinner scenes with Victor,Leanna,Nikki and Douglas are great. Also this episode has the Nina "worn out tramp" comment said by Jill that was deleted off of youtube a long time ago.

Unfortunately this is only one out of my 2 classic episodes i have from 1989. I didn't even realize that i was going to get them, but i guess the seller forgot to edit these episodes out from his video or something LOL. The next episode after this one has a scene with Jill and Terry's Jack. I haven't seen them together before, and they were pretty great together. But deedee sort of has a point saying that Terry had better chemistry with Brenda's JIll. I promise i will upload it soon though.

What did people think of the Callie storyline? I was only mildly interested but enjoyed the fact that she was still married, and the destruction it brought on Malcolm and Olivia's marriage.

And what did they think about Callie 1 and 2? Was bad reception the reason for the recast?

Michelle died soon after joining. She'd been very ill - I don't know if she knew it was terminal - when she took the role, but kept this to herself and her family. Y&R did a tribute to her, which I thought was very classy. She had a beautiful smile. If she'd stayed on I think she might have been a star for them.

As for Callie, I thought her story dragged on and on. I can't remember how long she stayed. Was she still there when Neil was a drunk? I know the woman from Savannah was there at that point. Wasn't there another woman between them?

They had an actor come in as her shady ex or something, or her pimp, I can't remember. He left to take a role on Port Charles as Ellen's ex-husband or ex-love. I think he ended up doing both shows at the same time for a while.

She sang several times on the show. She had a beautiful voice. I don't think Siena ever sang.

Michelle was great on Family Matters too. She seemed to live a very full life but everyone should miss such a talent.

In some ways she reminds me of the rarely used Tatyana Ali.

Thomas was still in the role of Callie when she died right? I remember being shocked reading the news of her death in SOD.

The Callie stuff was okay, although I thought the whole stuff with Trey and his goon was a bit ridiculous. Callie was a woman from Malcolm's past which I thought was a nice touch as I don't think the Malcolm/Olivia pairing always felt right. I'm pretty sure Callie was gone by the time Dru came back from Paris there in 2000, and after Dru left again towards the end of the year is when the Neil/Alex/Malcolm triangle developed.

Olivia's insecurity over Callie led her to hit the sheets with Neil right? All I ever remember about the summer of 2000 is Olivia laying on her deathbed all summer long.

    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
